Dear Architect, Anarchitect, Artist, Designer

In simple language we are looking for a modern, light weight bullock cart, sorry, human cart. Here is a forward from hubby.

CitySpinning has opened a competition for designs of a mobile cultural space in the form of a human powered vehicle which is light, configurable, collapsible, extensible and made with grown or recyclable materials as far as possible.

The competition is a part of the POROUS CITY project, which is an effort of seeking out alternative cultural spaces. Spaces ‬which are living,‭ ‬are in the midst of us,‭ ‬are textured with inconsistency, are more open,‭ ‬welcoming and approachable.‭

The call for proposals is at: http://cityspinning.org/porouscity/. Links (for inspiration) of other such projects, submission guidelines and details about the prize and constraints are all up on the site.

Do participate in this competition and encourage you friends to do so too. Feel free to forward this mail. Team-participation is ok, multiple submissions are welcome.
